- In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.

- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, add butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, sugar, milk, and salt to a medium bowl and beat on low speed with a handheld mixer for 2-3 minutes or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Decorate the cake with the sour cream frosting and your favorite decorations.
